Nearly 700,000 Filipinos reside in the UAE, making up 6.1 percent of the Gulf nation’s population. Of these, around 450,000 live in Dubai, working in diverse roles and running businesses.
Filipino residents in Dubai and the wider UAE can sponsor their families to join them, provided they meet the host country’s requirements. Both employers and employees with valid UAE residence visas are eligible to sponsor their families.
The minimum salary requirement for Filipino nationals looking to sponsor family visas in Dubai has recently been updated.
